The food is good, but they are incredibly stingy with their hot sauce. You basically have to beg them for sauce, and they ration it strictly to two small cups per customer. I'm willing to pay for extra sauce, but it's a major hassle because they always get confused when you ask to pay for more sauce. This is basically a Mexican restaurant that heavily restricts how much hot sauce they give out, which is absurd because hot sauce is one of the main reasons people like Mexican food. The food is good but every time I come in I feel like I have to get into a fight over the sauce, so it's just not worth it anymore.

One of our favorite Mexican food places in the area. Service is pretty quick and easy, accessible location. Workers are friendly. Love the steak burrito fajita and shrimp tacos, personal favorites. Chips and salsa are always great. Have been coming here over 20 years and never disappointed. Will keep returning as long as Green Cactus is there, and recommend to others!

There is a Spanish supervisor that been there for years that is very nasty and rude with an attitude at this establishment. I use to work at this establishment and live a couple doors down from this place. I called today to order some food my favorite from this place green cactus combo, and because she recognize my voice. She hung up on me. I'm a Black woman I don't speak Spanish and for that reason this same woman lied on me and got me fired. I let by gones be by gones but this evening let me know how prejudice and races this establishment always have been and still is. Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1
Looks really good until you get your food. Seems very authentic until you realize it isn't. I’ve had better tacos at taco bell. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2

1-word review: Yuck. Jun 24, order# 4316. 3:14pm. The food was not great. We ordered fried chicken fingers for the kids. The chicken was extremely dry. I ordered the American Burrito. After a few bites I realized there was no beef inside. It was also cold. I brought it back and they made me a new one. This time it was extremely dry. I looked inside and I could not see any queso cheese (the first one had queso). I brought it back in and they said there was queso in it. I said there was not. He just looked at me and refused to put more queso in it. I ask for a little side of queso and he said there was an extra charge. This is not the quality of food and hospitality I remember from eating here years ago. I won't be back. This place is gross.

I have had to lower my rating as the last few times I went there the food quality has declined quite a bit from a few years ago. My friends agree. Green cactus salsa is still good but the tortilla chips taste burnt and tasteless. I had Chicken taquitos and my Hispanic friend eating with me said they are flatuas. The chicken filling had NO seasoning and the shell tasted burnt. The Shrimp burrito that another friend had did not taste as good as they used to according to him. Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
Never fails in the past 25 years I've always had a negative experience its the best and freshest Mexican restaurant in Suffolk County I highly recommend it. The guacamole is full of tomatoes thats the only thing I dont like. Cactus combo is where it's at! Awesome as always.

When I lived in Stony Brook would frequent Green Cactus often. Moved away 17 years ago and was back for a visit and decided to go back to Green Cactus. It was just as good as I remembered. I had the Burrito Fajita and it was fabulous. My only complaint, it was too huge (if you can call that a complaint). Love this place. Wish they were upstate in Rochester.
